It has been reported that Johnny will be in New Orleans to shoot his cameo for the upcoming 21 Jump Street remake tomorrow! Read on below to find out more.

Actor Johnny Depp will be in New Orleans tomorrow to shoot his cameo for the new 21 Jump Street theatrical remake, which just started filming on Monday. Another cast member from the original 21 Jump Street TV series, Peter DeLuise, will also be on hand, shooting his cameo alongside Depp. Here’s what an insider had to say about both upcoming cameo apperances.

“Depp will be arriving at Second Line Stages in New Orleans, Louisiana, tomorrow to film his cameo for the film. The slot for his role is only labeled as “D.B.” Jonah Hill & Channing Tatum will be off camera, while Peter DeLuise will join Depp in what appears to be one of the first scenes for the film. Second Line Stages is located at 800 Richard St. New Orleans, LA, and was recently occupied by Warner Bros’ upcoming superhero movie Green Lantern.”

This is the first we’ve heard that Peter DeLuise will make a cameo appearance in 21 Jump Street. It is unknown if the rest of the 21 Jump Street original cast, such as Holly Robinson Peete and Dustin Nguyen, will appear in the remake.

We reported back in February that Jonah Hill had written a cameo role for Johnny Depp, although Johnny Depp had not been confirmed for the role until just recently. It isn’t known if he will be portraying his original character, Officer Tom Hanson, or a different character.

21 Jump Street comes to theaters in 2012 and stars Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, Ice Cube, Brie Larson, Dave Franco, Rob Riggle, DeRay Davis, Jake M. Johnson. The film is directed by Phil Lord, Chris Miller.

Hello everyone!

I got an e-mail from Roxanne Miller of Nova FM this morning, informing me that Johnny is currently reading the 21 Jump Street script and is close to signing on!

Johnny Depp is seriously considering signing on to the 21 Jump Street movie and has asked to read the script next week.

Get Him To The Greek actor Jonah Hill is writing and producing the big-budget version of the show and confirmed Depp’s interest in the project.

Filming is due to start in January 2011.

“We wrote a Johnny Depp cameo and he’s the one who has expressed interest in doing it, so we’d be thrilled if Johnny would come and do it,” he told Ryan, Monty and Wippa.

“He’s going to read it in I think a week or something.”

The movie version of the hit television show will feature different characters to that on the small screen, so Depp would not be reprising his original role.
